List all databases in MongoDB
AI agents call list_databases to retrieve information from Enhanced MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate databases. While it may reveal infrastructure details, it has no side effects and does not execute arbitrary code, modify data, or cause irreversible changes. The severity is low because database enumeration alone does not expose sensitive data or enable further attacks without additional tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_databases' and description 'List all databases in MongoDB' indicate a query operation that retrieves information without modifying or deleting data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all databases in MongoDB. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Enhanced MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Enhanced MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_databases: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Enhanced MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_databases is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_databases rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_databases. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_databases is provided by the Enhanced MCP Server MCP server (pbulbule13/mcpwithgoogle). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
